mines a media server,
Its hosting a samba server, sabnzbd, sickgear, and a nginx server for my internal web stuff
you could set it up to do all of these things and more in about half an hour, it just depends if you actually have any use for them but like
I use my mini pc (slightly more capable than a Pi) for self hosting random shit. Plex (Pi won't be able to do this well), memos, PrivateBin, a Minecraft server for me and my long-distance babe, and qBittorrent. It's fun and useful.
i also switched to a mini pc because it has a little more capability than the pi5 which has grown to expensive for what you get, but the pi4 initially was very cheap and served the purpose of a home server type evice for years
Rasp Pis are the multi-tool or swiss army knife of the computer world. A world of possibilities, people buy one because they're kinda cheap and it sits in a closet for years after purchase. Just throw it out. If you bought something and have no idea what to do with it years after buying it, it has no purpose.

Some good uses for it:
-Media server (OpenELEC)
-Mail server
-Home web server
-Daily driver (if you're autistic and can micro a tiling wm)
-Torrent/seedbox (Good for private trackers, see
[...]
)
Just generally can use it as a regular computer these days. It's good.
turn it into a pikvm using a cheap $15 hdmi/usb dongle and use it to remote control anything on your network that allows mouse and keyboard control/hdmi output, or turn it into an offline website wifi network host for websites like wikipedia using compressed .zim files.
ignore the needing a gpio hat for the pi4, you can literally use pic related, and a usb c cable that has power delivery to remote control another pc on your network, thats it, you would just connect the usb c to the pi and the usb c to your computers rear io usb c and you'll get full network mouse/keyboard and usb mounting over the local network via web interface, hdmi output goes into the hdmi capture dongle plugged in the pi
If you wanted to control something else that only has regular usb mouse/keyboard support you'll need some kind of usb c powered splitter, to feed power to the pi and usb, and usb to the device you want to control.

If you want to get rid of it, sell it to me, lol.
Are these still worth buying/using now that the Pi 5 is out?
